Port St. Lucie cut less and contracted more than in the prior two weeks: 300 cuts against 114 contracts, from 345 cuts against 98. Stuart's median cut of 4.37 percent, or $16,200, was the largest among the bigger cities, and its 48 contracts were up from 38. Palm City went the other way, with contracts falling to 14 from 28 while cuts held near 43.
What does this mean for buyers and sellers?
For buyers, a larger typical cut means asking prices on the Treasure Coast are moving toward what contracts will bear, most of all under $300,000 and at $1 million and up. Homes already cut once can be a starting point for an offer, and our St. Lucie County and Martin County property tax calculators help set the full monthly cost. HOA fees vary widely by community: see St. Lucie County HOA fees and Martin County HOA fees.
For sellers, the $500,000 to $749,999 house band had 3.4 cuts per contract, the most of any band, so the starting price carries extra weight there. Monthly pace is in our Beaches Market Pulse.

Limitations
Counts come from our listing change log, which records a change when our refresh sees it and can miss quick status changes; live supply is a single map snapshot taken November 5, 2026. Contracts count status moves from active to pending or under contract, so a home listed directly as pending is not counted. Indian River County is not in this feed and is not included. City follows the listing's mailing city. Medians are of the cut amount relative to the prior asking price. This article is general information, not advice about any specific property or transaction.
